Description
The Lazy Administrator's Tools is a set of scripts designed to automate batch tasks and administration jobs for SME servers. Currently the following tools are available:
Available functions
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| lat-users | add/delete users (and their directories) |
| lat-groups | add/delete groups |
| lat-pseudonyms | add/delete e-mail pseudonyms for individual users |
| lat-ibays | add/delete ibays (and its directories) |
| lat-quota | set the disk quota for individual users |
| lat-procmail | activate or deactivate procmail for individual users |
| lat-hosts | add hostnames to the server |
| lat-pptp | activate or deactivate pptp access for individualusers |
| lat-domains | create virtual domains |
| lat-dump | create input files for the above, using the configuration files of the SME servers. |
Installation
Download and install using the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/mblotwijk/Contribs/lazy-admin-tools/e-smith-lazy_admin_tools-0.9.0-1.noarch.rpm yum localinstall e-smith-lazy_admin_tools
More information, examples, and source code can be downloaded from http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/mblotwijk/Contribs/lazy-admin-tools/
Upgrade notes
1. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 0.7.0-1, don't forget to remove manually the old scripts. Yum will not be able to find and remove them for you.
2. As from version 0.7.0-1 the arguments for lat-groups have changed. Please refer to 'man lat-groups' or to the examples in /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools for the new format.
Usage
Each tool has its own comprehensive man page. See `man lazy-admin-tools` for an overview of the tools that have been installed.
All tools follow the same concept:
1. Arguments can be specified on the command line (--command-line), or in a file (--input-file) for batch processing.
2. If the arguments are specified on the command line, the arguments must be between quotes (e.g. -c="foo | bar | baz")
3. Most tools recognize the wildcards * and ? in the first argument (e.g -c="foo* | bar | baz").
4. See the various examples in /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools for the format of the input file.
